I Am Thankful For....

I just returned from making a quick trip to Walmart and I met one of the poorest families I have seen in a long time. They were so dirty and their little boy was so sweet, but you could tell that they did not have much money. It brought to mind a challenge that was given to us ladies at one of our Biblical Womanhood Classes. The challenge was to list at least 50 or more things that you were thankful for. Here are a few things from my list:

I AM THANKFUL FOR:

1. God.

2. Jesus - without Him there would be no remission for sins.

4. The Bible

5. My salvation.

6. My husband

8. My children

12. running water - can you imagine going to the lake every day for water?

14. Gasoline for my car & heat

16. clock/watch - without it I would always be late

18. My Godly parents & for the life they gave me.

25. My senses - sight, hearing, taste, smell, touch

30. Hair Products, curling irons

32. My computer - without it I would not be typing this

43. Signs (on the highway, on buildings ) - otherwise, I would forever be lost

50. My washing machine & dryer - can you imagine doing your laundry by hand?

64. Light, lamps & flashlights

70. Soap - need I say more

77. Musical Instruments

85. Laughter

91. God's grace

94. Godly Council

100. Salt & Pepper

These are just a few from my list. My challenge is to you: Next time you find yourself in the "gotta have it now" mood and the "green-eye jealously bug" comes knocking on your door, stop and make a list of everything you are thankful for. You will be SO amazed at how many wonderful things you already have. (This is really great for kids. It really helps them appreciate what they already have.) Have Fun!
